Reduced Staphylococcus Abundance Characterizes the Lesional Microbiome of Actinic Keratosis Patients after Field-Directed Therapies.
Article in Microbiology spectrum, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Skin microbiome dysbiosis with a Staphylococcus overabundance is a feature of actinic keratosis (AK) and squamous skin carcinoma (SCC) patients. The impact of lesion-directed treatments for AK lesions such as diclofenac (DIC) and cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) on the lesional microbiome is not established. We studied 321 skin microbiome samples of 59 AK patients treated with DIC 3% gel versus CAP. Microbial DNA from skin swabs taken before start of treatment (week 0), at the end of the treatment period (week 24), and 3 months after end of treatment (week 36) was analyzed after sequencing the V3/V4 region of the
